I tried making a topic and this happened. What does it mean by spam?

What does that mean? Sorry, I'm not great with computers

[Linkusofepica]

you shouldn't have done that

A referral link literally refers or goes to another website automatically. It's considered spam.

Oh ok, so like a link that directs to youtube or facebook?

[Ayxrion]

roblox is a referral link, for example.

link that usually reffers people to something and gives the poster of the original link some bonus

It usually directs you to spammy market schemes or like Win $1,000,000 right now by signing up!

yeah but i made only links that go like this

[.url=(blahtypeyoutubelinkhere)]Youtube video[/url]

It only went to Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube.
Am I doing something wrong?

Also, I could send the thing through PM or email or something to see if it would be acceptable

no, that's redirection

referral has to do with either referring someone to sign up for a certain site, or pyramid schemes (they usually go hand in hand)





OP if it's just a youtube video make sure it's only youtube.com and then whatever necessary characters. YouTube likes to add a lot of stuff to its links.
